About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Lisa Brazda

Host profile image
Being a Washington state fishing guide, I live in Forks all winter and spring for steelhead season. My wife of 35+ years and I have a home in the Yakima River valley near Ellensburg for the rest of the year. I operate a guide/ lodge service in winter and vacation rental from the Wild Duc during the spring and summer months. We both went fife high school and met shortly after, we have a family of 6, us and 3 Labradors that enjoy hunting and fishing year around.

Why they chose this property

After my first visit to Forks , then called the "Steelhead Capitol of the World" I knew I would someday be a resident. Now over 35 years later and 21 seasons of guiding these rivers we purchased our second home here. I feel the area has so much to offer the visitor just passing through that the combination or winter fishing and summer vacation travel made it an easy move.

What makes this property unique

The Wild Duc Lodge is situated down a long private drive and over looks the local landscape from a moderate elevated location giving it just enough tranquility and length of view to be special. A very quiet and serene landscape of local rainforest and meadows commonly grazed by Roosevelt elk herds. Morning local clouds and mist rise off the Sol Duc river giving a special touch. South Easterly view offer amazing sun rises and long shadows at sunset. Centrally located out on the NW Olympic Peninsula being close to the amenities of Parks, Ocean Beaches and five local salmon and steelhead rivers provide outdoor tranquility for all.
